How to have a short burst of dotted/triplets triggered by a pick

[ablaszczyk]

Hello,

 

How is it possible to have a short burst but triggered by a pick -> working as a sequencer reset to Step 1 -> fires 3 chops but for example as 1/2 dotted note ?

The Bleat Chop Trem is close to this goal but it is a free-running sequencer — it cycles continuously regardless of when I pick the string.
As a result every note I play lands at a random point in the 4-step cycle.

 

Sequencer:  [1][2][3][M][1][2][3][M][1][2][3][M]  <- always running
I play:           ^ here        ^ here    ^ here
Result:      different step each time = random stutter -> this is not what I want.

 

Another Helix effect called Pattern Tremolo unfortunately works similarly to Bleat Chop Trem, so it doesn't bring what we want.

 

The required sample is provided as a reference what exactly is needed.

The burst is triggered by a clean sound, and both sounds (clean and burst) are processed in Helix in parallel, so it's like playing two instruments at the same time. Burst is heavily modulated to obtain specific percussive effect.

 

best,
Andrzej

I don't think the question is how is it possible, but is it possible?

 

The answer (AFAIK) is no. That would require something like a sidechain triggered by a gate, which the Helix does not have.

 

All time based/mod effects in the Helix run off their own clock and are not 'triggered' by an input.

 

Your sound bite is very cool, but also sounds very DAW/Studio based and outside of what the Helix can do. It'd be cool to define (for example) the point on the curve a flanger starts when triggered by a sound, but no.

The Euclidean Delay is made for a sequence of equally leveled repeats. Read the description of what Steps, Fill and Rotate do - once you get what it does you can create any repeating pattern. 

 

It can serve as the base in a parallel path that you can modulate with what you need.
